Description
Butyrospermum Parkii Butter
Raw Unrefined Shea Butter is a nutrient-rich, natural butter extracted from the nuts of the African Shea tree. Handcrafted using traditional methods, this butter retains its natural vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids, giving it a luxurious, creamy texture. Unlike refined versions, raw shea butter maintains its characteristic earthy aroma and ivory colour, offering maximum nourishment for skin, hair, and nails. It's a versatile beauty staple, widely celebrated for its deeply moisturising and healing properties.
